Hi there Osu-players,
I know this is just one of many many other topics, but I am also searching for advice here.
I am playing Osu for more than 4 years, I am 26 years old and since... maybe more than 2 years?... I am not improving in playing streams (and I was once rank 40k).
I am not even sure how I can describe where I am right now. i try to explain my issues on different maps:
If it is about stamina I would say I can't stream at all. Not even 120 BPM, I am refering to this map people adviced me to train on: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/72474
My issue with that is that I get a very bad behaviour with those maps. I was told to go on and push myself until I fail the song. And for the first 30 seconds everything is OK and looingk good but then my fore-arm gets numb, my muscles hurt and I can't control it anymore. I switch from a steady 1-2-1-2-1-2 to 1-2-*break*-1-2-*break* nearly pushing both fingers the same time on the keys.
Let's go to this song: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/38235
153 BPM and long streams. I would say there is a 70% chance that I pass it. I can't keep up with the speed, also here the first few seconds are looking good but then I get slower and the only thing I can do is trying to just keep hammering on the keys. Everything else is luck.
Where do I go on? In all other maps up to 200 BPM I can hit 5-7 circle streams properly. 200-220 BPM I can also hit 3-5 circles, but dare the map having 2 tripples in a row - I can't hit those at all.
I am using a mechanical keyboard for tapping, a Razer BlackWidow with Blue Switches (as far as I know). I don't play with a tablet, I am using a mouse for aiming. I am a person who dislikes playing the same map over and over and over again - it gets boring and I get frustrated very fast (tears incoming ).
I am alternating between "Firetruck it, I play Osu for fun" and "God damn, why can't I get better?".
I play 4,5* songs for warming up and - depending on the map of course - I play up to max 6 stars (mainly jump maps I can pass there tho).
Some people say I should just play whatever I like - and I do of course. I AM improving in Accuracy, Reading, Aiming... but not streaming and compared to everyone else near my rank I feel like I am the worst when it comes to streams. It is really not that I avoid them! I play a lot of maps with NF because they are really fun to play, examples are:
t/302339
t/376567
t/125592
t/24775
t/200008
I have no idea what to do and I hope that there are a few people out there having some ideas to help
